agree  Hazel Whiteley: Unjust enrichment is, indeed, a specific term in English law: a cause of action under which money can sometimes be recovered. A bit of context would be helpful, though.

illegal enrichment [illicit enrichment]


Explanation:
ILLEGAL ENRICHMENT

"Well, I think this is a growth industry around the world. You know, the United States is spending $49 billion a year on illegal drugs; and so -- we don't have all the drug addicts in the world; but we've got too much money that we're spending on drugs. And what we're seeing is that in many cases the principle source of illegal enrichment for Nigerians, Dominicans, Colombians, Mexicans and, indeed, our own domestic criminal organizations, comes from the drug trade. "

ILLICIT ENRICHMENT

"The U.S. and Illicit Enrichment--Some OAS countries have made illicit enrichment an offence under their domestic laws. The United States does not expect to establish illicit enrichment as a separate offence under U.S. law. One line of thought behind this position is that the notion may conflict with basic constitutional principals of U.S. law. In addition, a variety of U.S. laws and regulations, in their totality, reach the types of conduct by government officials that this provision seeks to address. For these reasons, the United States does not expect to make illicit enrichment, as described in the convention, a separate offence under U.S. law."
